Jackson pursed his lips at the thought of that possibility. He would never let Lucas have his way!
In the private room, Lucas pulled out the silver bracelet he wore on his neck. He brushed his fingertips
over it. Its surface was smooth and shiny from being polished by his fingers over the years.
To him, this bracelet was his entire world.
As it turned out, people who keep longing for another despite the passage of time do indeed exist. In
fact, the more time passed, the more intense their feelings grew….
“Cut!” yelled the director. Sullen–faced, he snapped at Aria, “What’s the matter with you? Is it that hard

retake.
Compared to the past when the director never criticized her for anything, his harshness toward her now

from her for breaching their contract.
Given the amount Aria stood to pay, she would have to sell off the property and numerous brand–name
luxury items she had
received from Lucas.
In other words, she would be left with nothing! How could she possibly accept that?!
If not for that dreaded Serenity…
The thought of Serenity made Arla even angrier.
They were in the middle of filming a scene when someone barged into the set. Arla was taken aback

The man walked up to the director and whispered something to him. Then, he approached Aria and
said, “Ms. Lewis, Mr. Gomez would like to see you.”
In an instant, a beaming smile appeared on
